Trash Talk Generator Has Produced Some Wicked Insults On Steam

"You know all those times your parents said video games would get you nowhere? They were right."
Last week, I spoke with the creator of the Shittalk Generator, a crowdsourced effort to create sick (read: actually decent) burns that can be automatically queued up in games like Counter-Strike, DOTA 2 and Team Fortress 2. I've been keeping an eye on it ever since, and I have to say, people have cooked up some pretty wicked insults. Here are my favourites:

There are also some gravely bad ones, but that goes with the territory of letting anybody submit stuff. As ever, a reminder: shit-talking people you're playing with/against can be super fun, but if they're not on board with it (that is to say, giving as good as they get/obviously having a decent time), don't be a dick. Or, as Shittalk Generator creator Davis Ford said to me:

"Shittalking ends when it gets personal. That tends to happen in tight-knit competitive communities; people call each other fat, ugly, whatever. That's no fun. I'd rather have you describe my butthole as a gaping cavern that squirrels nest in, you know? Something light-hearted."
